    Abras seem to flee the fastest from what I've found, they're a bit tough

    I caught a Lapras and evolved a Wigglytuff today; then a Raichu I got from incense ran from me. 132/133. You take the bad with the good. Now I need 6 more Pikachu for that Raichu.

    Yeah I caught three Bulbasaurs tonight but that's about it. Met a girl at the park because she wanted to catch Pokemon/hatch eggs together. I ran four fucking miles while the app decide to not log me in. Everyone else at the park was battling as I was passing them so apparently I was the only one who couldn't get it to work. Didn't even hatch my 2K egg.

    Saw a bulbasaur and a charmander today and both ran after throwing a few balls at them. I've seen both of them several times and they always run no matter what. So frustrating.

    Also I thought the curve had to do with the razzberries? I feel like I only have curveballs when I use one.

    Yesterday while driving in my town a pikachu popped up, and after I caught that a squirtle popped up, and after I caught that a bulbasaur showed up. It was wild.

    I had my first Pokemon go related dream last night so I guess this game has penetrated my psyche

    Finally caught a Sandshrew. :-)

    E: and a Dratini. It's crazy how travelling to new places helps you find so many new ones.

    Here's the top of my lineup so far. Not really what I would like if I had my choice, but in this game you have less control over what you can put together unless you're willing to buy a bunch of plane tickets.

    Question: Does it concern anyone else that some of the best Pokemon to have in battle are also the most obese?

    Damn yours are awesome, haha. You have 11 pokemon with a higher CP than my best :crylaugh:
    How do you have so many Hypnos?

    Just looked at my top Pokemon... Three Flareons, two Dodrios, two Exeggutors, a Jolteon, a Scyther.... I need to step up my game as far as powerful Pokemon goes. I've caught 68 out of 70 so I feel like I'm doing alright there. Just nothing strong yet.

    I took a few days off of this game last week to save my last bit of data and I just feel like I've fallen behind the curve now. Everyone around me is level 20+ and has crazy strong Pokemon.. I'm sitting here at 16 with one Pokemon over 1000 cp

    Drowzee's are like weeds around my house. I don't even see them as Pokemon anymore, i just see viles of stardust. Same goes for all those annoying Zubats.

    98% percent of why I care about this game is catching/collecting. Gyms aren't my thing for a few reasons: if you take one in an even semi-busy area my yourself, someone is going to take it within ten minutes, and if you find a gym owned by your team, it's likely full. I throw away all but 50 of my revives and hyper potions to make room for balls.

    That said, I caught my 100th yesterday by evolving Bulbasaur into Ivysaur. Ivysaur has been my favorite Poke since Red Version release week, so I was very happy. This morning I hatched a Dratini with enough candy to insta-evolve into Dragonair, so I'm at 102 caught.

    Weird, haha. I've never even seen a Drowzee in my area.

    Drowzee has probably made up 1/3 of all the Pokemon I've caught. I have 7 Hypno with 900+CP for a reason.

    I share you opinion of the gyms. There's no inherent value for me to "hold" one except for the award of fairy dust. I really get very little satisfaction out of fighting. I find it especially unattractive to join a gym of my own team just because it can take so long to work it up to a level where its accepting Pokemon and then, like you said, the question is...for what? It's just going to get taken over again by someone else in 10 minutes.

    gyms dont even give you a decent XP gain, its fucking stupid

    i do think niantic said theyre going to work on the gym poaching problem though

    If you beat an opposing gym you get 250 each time, which is significant. The xp from your teams gym is trash though
     
  25. Serenity Now

    I don't agree that 250 is significant. I think 500 would be more considerable.

    I would also entertain the idea that the higher your trainer level gets, the higher the XP you gain when defeating gyms.

    It takes so much more XP to level up after you hit 20.
